The Fort Riley Exchange has unveiled three unattended retail units across the installation, giving Soldiers 24-hour convenience shopping experience.

The retail units, in the 1st Combat Aviation, 1st Brigade Headquarters and 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team Headquarters buildings, opened in July and August. The self-serve units offer better-for-you snacks, frozen meals, toiletries and moreโ€”all curated to the tastes and purchasing habits of the military community.

โ€œSoldiers have told us they are enjoying the URUs and the variety of options available to them,โ€ said Exchange Services Business Manager Jessica Tacy. โ€œThe vendor says the locations are performing well and sales are showing success.โ€

The units accept debit, credit and cash transactions at its self-checkout area. Soldiers can also use in-unit microwaves to heat their frozen and refrigerated meals for easy dining on the go.

Fort Riley Exchange will also welcome a Buffalo Wild Wings To-Go this year.
